Members gp_jax Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hey everyone! I started playing bass a couple years ago, and I'm excited to continue learning and improving. Recently, I started using a pick. Coincidentally, I have an assignment in my Statistics class where I have to gather survey data. So, I decided I would try to learn more about my craft at the same time! The following link is a short, 6 question survey about playing styles across different genres. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/82ZM8C8 Please consider helping out! Thanks!!

Members WRGKMC Posted October 28, 2017 Members Share Posted October 28, 2017 I use whatever is right for the song so I gave it a 50/50. When I played professionally in bands I mostly used alternating fingers and often did things with the thumbs like double note pulls with thumb and finger. Most of that was cover music and playing the parts of other players using fingers was natural. I mostly play original stuff now so it really comes down to the notes an scales that need to be played.

Moderators ThudMaker Posted October 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2017 I filled out the survey. The correct answer really is whatever fits the song, but I generally start with fingers and then decide to grab a pick, although my 8 string demands a pick. I started off strumming on guitar, so using a pick on bass comes naturally to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Welcome to Harmony Central! Interesting how you broke the survey down by genre... and it really does make a difference IMO. I'd be far more likely to play with a pick on a Rock song than on an R&B song. Will you please let us know the results of the survey once it's concluded? I'd sure appreciate that! Best of luck with your class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted November 1, 2017 Members Share Posted November 1, 2017 I filled out your survey only to decide that you are trying to find out my gender! I refuse to be subject to your narrow definitions of gender. Why you didn't even have unsexual as an option! :triggered: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
